DataEditorSupport and/or ClonableEditor using UTF-8

Question

I have a Netbeans platform program that uses a custom DataEditorSupport and a custom ClonableEditor. The files it reads are UTF-8 encoded and the editor that is created does not seem to be using UTF-8.

For example my file has

"TêSt"

and the editor displays this as

"TêStÃ"

How can I get the DataEditorSupport or ClonableEditor to use correctly read UTF-8?
